Elon Musk told the United Nations he would give them $6 billion to end world hunger if they showed him a detailed plan of how they would use the money. They called his bluff and gave him their plan— and then they never got the money. Now he’s buying Twitter for $45 billion.

Many who are fully vaccinated are understandably worried about Delta.
But take a minute to think of the billions of people around the world facing a similar Covid surge, but not yet able to access even a single dose of vaccine.
